DJ duo Fog & Laser revved up the event with an inventive soundscape—and yes, a fog and laser machine—before Best of the City winners Dholrhythms Dance Company spiced up the atmosphere with a Bollywood-style performance backed by fellow winners Non Stop Bhangra and DJ Jimmy Love, who kept the crowd grooving amidst bracing bay breezes.

Guests were treated to dazzling views of the lovely sunset from both Ghirardelli Square and the balcony of the luxurious Fairmont Heritage Place. Bulleit Rye whiskey, Platinos tequila, and Ketel One vodka provided unique variations on classic cocktails, while Pisco Porton thrilled with innovative new signature cocktails. Trumer Pils beer and Smarwater rounded out the refreshing drink menu.
